Very high graphics quality - as usual. Well executed. Very cute. Love it.
 
The alien bomb always appears just on top of you - even if there's no alien there !? One strategy then, is to move to one side for a while and then to the other. I think it would be much more challenging if the bomb was somewhat randomly off from right over spaceship.

Thank you!

I chose this solution to prevent the player from sitting still waiting for the aliens

Bummer, I have to go to work now, so I'll have to play later.  Looks good so far though!

It's just a tribute not a real porting, but I tried to do something that looked like it in every stage.

This is a fantastic game, Bleepbit!   I played it this morning and enjoyed it.  Are there sprites involved or is it all character graphics?

Thanks!

 

It's a mix:

- stages 1, 2 and 5 the aliens are chars, the player starship is a sprite (to have 2 colors) and the bullets are allways sprite but moved like chars to intercept the aliens

- stages 3 and 4 only sprites

Wow, very nice graphics and I enjoyed the game!  All levels look good, wish I had this game in the '80s as a kid!
